Summary

This study tests whether high-intensity breathing exercises can improve respiratory muscle strength, lung function, fatigue, and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants are randomly assigned to high-intensity interval breathing training, low-intensity breathing training, or standard rehabilitation for 8 weeks. The goal is to find out if a more intense approach offers greater benefits than lower-intensity or standard care alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: inspiratory muscle training (breathing exercises)
What this could lead to: If high-intensity breathing training proves more effective, it could become a standard part of MS rehabilitation to improve breathing, fatigue, and daily function.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with 48 participants, so results may not apply to all people with MS. The training requires regular effort, and some may find it difficult to maintain.
